Fall Fairy on Wheels

Hi everyone! I am here to share my project I created for Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team. This month we are showing how to use the Twist and Style Tool. You can do all sorts of fun things with this tool...jewelry, create stems for flowers, etc.

For my project I started by cutting from Matboard the "drawer" from the Candy Box Drawer diecut. I embossed the drawer with Honeycomb Embossing Folder and spritzed both sides with the following Tattered Angels mists: Walnut Gold, Bronze and Tattered Leather. I then put the drawer together according to directions.

Next I cut four 8 inches of 20 gauge jewelry wire, folded in half and put each end through the button holes. To use the Twist and Style tool you can watch the how to video HERE.

Once I got all the buttons and wire twisted I cut the wire down to fit the bottom of the drawer to create wheels which I adhered to the drawer.

I printed a little girl image that I had found on the Land of Nod blog (which has since been deleted :-(). I fussy cut the little girl out, used butterfly wings from my stash, added a little Stickles to the wings and then adhered together and then placed in the drawer box.

I cut a Rosette from specialty paper, adhered to the top of the drawer a long with a small bead.

I twisted a few copper color wire on the Twist and Style tool and then I wrapped the wire around a small dow.

I added moss, a mini pinecone with an assortment of flower and leaf punches to the inside to finish off my little drawer on wheels.

Be sure to hop on over to Eileen's blog to see what the Inspiration Team has created this month. You can see their projects: HERE, HERE and HERE and as always if you have any questions please let me know.

Reindeer and Holly Card

Hi everyone! I am back yet again with another Christmas card using the same 6"x6" Lost and Found Christmas Pad from My Mind's Eye which I folded the patterned cardstock to create a 3"x6" card base. 

I cut a scalloped oval diecut from Spellbinders and the Gold Glitter Cardstock Reindeer I only cut the head out.

 I adhered a bit of gold trim and punched two small holly leaves out, shaped and added a tiny red gem to the reindeer's nose and holly leaves. 
As always if you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Saturday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Snowflake Noel Card

Hi everyone! I am back with another quick Christmas card. Like the last card I shared this past Monday I used the 6"x6" Lost and Found Christmas Pad from My Mind's Eye. I folded a piece of cardstock from the pad to create a 3"x6" base for my card.

I cut a diecut from the Scalloped Rectangle from Spellbinders, painted a wooden snowflake and once dry adhered all to the front of the card.

I finished off the card with sequins and tiny flat back pearls. Very quick and easy! If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Eileen Hull: Party Flower Gift Bags

Hi everyone! I'm here to share my Inspiration Team project this month for Eileen Hull and this month's theme is party planning. I have had this set of gift bags I had bought at Target in the Dollar spot laying around and thought wouldn't it be nice to dress them up with some flowers???

So I cut a set of Romance Flowers Diecuts from white cardstock and painted all with watercolors and let dry.

I shaped slightly with a stylus and adhered a button and dew drop to the center and cut three Spring Leaves Diecuts (one for the other gift bag). I shaped both leaves and glued one to the back of the flowers along with twine and gold metallic thread. Once all that was dry I adhered the flower to the corner of the gift bag.

 I cut three sets of Heart and Soul Flower Diecuts out, shaped, glued together and add a button to the center. 

Next I added two Spring Leaves Diecuts and gold metallic thread to the back of the flower.

Now these little gift bags are all dressed up and ready for gift giving!

If you have missed some of the other design teams awesome party ideas be sure to hop over to Eileen's blog and see all their craftiness.
If you have any questions about these projects please let me know.

Happy Holidays Reindeer Card

Hi everyone! I am here to share a really quick Christmas card (yep I've been making Christmas cards ;-) ) I created using cardstock from the Lost and Found Christmas 6"x6" Pad from My Mind's Eye. I folded the 6"x6" piece of cardstock in half to create a 3"x6" card base. I cut two stripes of plain cardstock and patterned cardstock and adhered to the center of the card base.

I cut a Beaded Circles (Spellbinders) and a small Scalloped circle (discontinued Stampin' Up! Sizzix Diecut) which I embossed with Powdered Sugar Embossing Folder.

I used the Reindeer Diecut and cut part of the head from Gold Glitter Chipboard and glued in the center of the scalloped circle. I added a small red gem for the nose and then fussy cut a "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the Lost and Found Christmas Collection. This was a very easy and quick card to put together in no time at all.
In the next week I will be sharing more Christmas cards as time permits and if you have any questions about this card please let me know. :-)

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is wonderful and enjoy creating!
